Xi Lin briefly smiled and changed the subject. She said, “In the past, I did not understand the sufferings and love of my Queen Mother. Now, I finally understand. You do not know how painful morning sickness is. I cannot eat anything. Every time I eat a bit, I throw up a little…”
Feng Tianlan quietly looked at Xi Lin who was wearing a loving smile on her face as she talked about her morning sickness. Although she was complaining, Feng Tianlan could see the happiness and anticipation in her eyes.
She really was not consoling her but was full of anticipation and maternal love for the child in her womb. She was genuinely happy.
Feng Tianlan had never thought that such a languid person like Sister Lin, who was seemingly nonchalant about everything, could be stubborn about love. She also had her own principles. She was an incredibly special person. If Feng Tianlan were a man, she would definitely adore a woman like Sister Lin.
“However, God can be really annoying. Why is a good person being tormented so much during pregnancy, whereas a bad person is actually able to eat and drink well while pregnant and does not suffer from morning sickness? I would like to think she is faking her pregnancy.” Thinking of Shen Yunya, whom she heard was pregnant, Xi Lin could not help complaining.
Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Lin, still capable of complaining. Although she felt somewhat relieved, it was inevitable that she still blamed herself. She said, “Perhaps her physique is different.”
“Tianlan, how do you know about my secret? And you’re not surprised that Shen Yunya is pregnant. Did you just come from the East Palace?” Xi Lin asked. She was originally afraid that Tianlan would think too much, blame herself, and be full of guilt, so she wanted to hide the matter from her. She did not expect Tianlan would find out so soon.
Feng Tianlan made a light sound and looked straight at Xi Lin. She said, “I was going to come to you first but was dragged away by Shen Yunya. If she hadn’t said anything would you have never told me?”
“Don’t look like you’re the father. One might think that the baby was yours,” Xi Lin said in a low voice. She spoke very seriously, saying, “Shen Yunya deliberately told you to make you feel guilty and like you were unable to get back up again. You must not be like this. Otherwise, you will give the enemy satisfaction and hurt the ones close to you.”
She really did not blame Tianlan on this matter, so she did not want her to feel guilt over it. Xi Lin should be the one to feel guilty.
“You’re still in the mood to joke?” Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Lin, who was comforting her instead. She let out a long sigh inside. As a Princess, it was really wonderous that Sister Lin had such a demeanor.
“It’s a happy thing. Besides, it’s a long life that is hard to bear. It will be so painful to cry and live. I still like to live and laugh while I can,” Xi Lin said.
Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Lin and was full of envy. She really got over it.
“But Tianlan, I can’t stay at the palace. I have to leave here,” Xi Lin said, caressing her stomach. She looked down lovingly and said, “If my King Father and Queen Mother were to find out, I would not be able to keep him. I definitely would have humiliated the Imperial family, so I want to leave the Imperial Palace.”
Feng Tianlan saw that Xi Lin was full of hope for this child. Now the only way she could make it up to Sister Lin was to fulfill all her wishes. She asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I’ve heard you talk about the United Mercenary Regiment at the border of Xi Yuan Nation, so I would like to go there to stay. But I have to change my appearance. I think my child and I will not be lonely there,” she replied.
The main thing was that, by being there, she could be closer to He Lianhuang. Their child should be born in Xi Yuan Nation. It was his child after all.
At the end of the day, she could not help but want to be closer to him.
Feng Tianlan saw the expectation and longing in Xi Lin’s eyes and understood her thoughts. But she was right in what she said. Her mind was most at ease where the United Mercenary Regiment was.
